Hakodate Travel Forum

Hi, Need some advice here. We are considering driving to Hakodate. Is it difficult to get parking places when moving around in town? How are the parking rates like?

We will be staying in Chikuba Shinyotei which is not accessible to public transport. If we do not drive are there alternative modes of transport besides taxi, how are taxi rates like?

We were initially thinking of taking the super hokuto from Sapporo to Hakodate, but we are concerned that the train do not have space for our luggage. Any idea about this? Thanks.

Where does the cruise ship dock in Hakodate? Is it near the morning market? What is the nearest bus or tram stop?

Dear travellers

We intend to do a 3 day driving tour around Hakodate looping west along Route 278 and returning from Onuma and would appreciate some tips on the below.

1) Are there any points of interest along the route that are must-visits?
2) Any good places we can stop for the nights along the way?
3) We're used to left hand drive which will be opposite the Japanese system. Any difficulties foreseen?

Many thanks for any suggestions or tips.
